On this blog I'll post a daily forecast/report of the surf/windsurf conditions in Maui.
Email me if you need to rent a place in Maui or if you need a surf, SUP, foil or windsurf lesson.

"that was fucking awesome!"

That's what the other sailor I was sailing with told me when we got out of the water... and he was right!

It happened yesterday in the late afternoon. Light sideoff and logo high sets inconsistent enough to make it very easy to sail out. Low tide and almost no chop at all. I had a couple of waves that made me scream.

Before my session, I took some picks at Hookipa.Photo of the day goes to Skyler Haywood, who is sailing very strong. I remember an old photo of Robby Naish that looked just like this one. Good job Skyler.

Why is Jason Diffin bottom turning on a close out? Because it's not a close out... plenty shoulder in front of him.

Morgan.

Laurent mid 360. Nice body torsion.

Marco Bosi chased by a biggie.

Skyler.

Bernd's mast might be smaller than normal, but that's still a pretty big wave for a 13 year old kid! His sailing is getting better by the day.

Welcome to Hookipa!

Amir.

Porcella's powerful top turn.

Andres.

One little new thing. Anyone can download photos from this blog (they will be in low res). If you use them on websites, please make sure to link the source.I'm now taking photos in higher resolution than usual (2048x1536), which is a thing that bugs me quite a bit. The original photos are available for sale. Pretty cheap.

BTW,I think every windsurfer who likes to read mags have imprinted in their memory the pic of Robby that looks exactly like that one! he was riding a colourful Naish custom , red and yellow, with 3 fins...Marcos

Plenty availability of studios and apts in Paia and the north shore.

About Me

Born and raised in Italy, I became an engineer and worked 11 years in the IT industry. Sick of that, in 2001 I wanted to take a year off and spend it in Maui, the best windsurfing spot in the world. Not only I'm still here (in Maui), but I also got into surfing. And the stoke is flying high. Life is too short to work 8 hours a day...
